A nature photographer
is someone who is unhappy
if he can not go out to nature to take pictures.

"What
to do?" says Zeus......

What to use…. film
material or chips –
analog or digital photography?

Use
whichever is more fun for you.

If you like
working with a computer, then use chips and create digital data
files.

If you
would rather not work with a computer so much,
use conventional film material and create slides or negatives.

You have
a problem?

There is an author in Great
Britain with the name of Christy Brown,
who wrote 5 books in a decade, among them the best seller called
"A barrel of life".
He has been paralyzed and in a wheel chair since childhood,
only able to write with the little toe of his left foot and
the help of an especially constructed machine.

What did you say was your
problem?

Will artificial intelligence have fantasy?

Do you think that the silicon intelligence that may
exist in about 30 years
within our computers will have the ability to imagine that there is
life
that exists in a body of flesh........??
.........that eats other life forms and has a stomach which digests
them.....???

The basics of work in

Nature
photography

The intellectual dimension strives for truth.

The aesthetic for beauty.

The moralistic is orientated on the good.

The spiritual dimension strives for the feeling of unity.

The seven factors which lead to
success:

a clear conception of what one wants

a strong trust in ones own perspectives

goal - orientated concentration

stubborn consequence

emotional determination

keeping the right course

the ability to already enjoy yourself while on the way

to question ones technical, biological and artistic
possibilities
as well as photographic abilities, to constantly work on them
and to try and bring them to the next level.

Self-criticism, self-criticism, self-criticism

What is the sense of this life behind the
camera?

To bring the picture as an emotional document of nature
onto a visionary level.

Well yes, if I
had suuuch equipment, I too would be able
to take fantastic pictures.

Not
only Shirley McLaine was born again.
Here you see me in my former life as a
photographer of weddings, in my studio
in the year 1736 in Seattle.

There is no
greater compliment for a wildlife photographer,
than when the animals they are taking a picture of, fall asleep
right in front of him.

They have dedicated
their life's work to subtly
capture the beauty of nature in photographs.

In the woods
exist mysterious creatures,
which do strange things.

Nature Photographer
have a tendency
to credit their successes
to their
intelligence, their knowledge
and their experience;

they also have a tendency to blame
their failures on accidents and fate.

Scientists
have observed 200.000 Ostriches for a period of more
than 8 years. Not one of the Ostriches stuck its
head into the sand during that time.
